student said:Light meter is always recommended in any kind of shoots, whether portraits, products, landscapes, indoors/outdoors etc It allows for precision in lighting. Most lightmeters in studio portraits shoots are incident type meters. (also called flash meters0 But for really accurate metering, a spotmeter is even better, becasue it allows for the absolute control of light in any spot of the face.
Now the all important question abotu which is "good". What is your budget?
ReSpawN said:My budget is ard $300-$400.
Is the SEKONIC beta than the polaris meter ?
I've seen quite a number of people using the minotla lightmeter, is it one of the better ones?
I've not used any lightmeter b4, so i hope that anyone can help me in this.
Thanks

blurblock said:So far, the lightmeter of various brand I seen are quite accurate. I have a Sekonic L-358 and quite pleased with it. However, I had seen some with Polaris and the reading is quite accurate too. I guess it would be up to you to decide what Lightmeter you like and get used to the light meter.
The Minolta Light Meter is often touted as one of the most accurate light meter, and it happens to be one of the most, if not the most, expensive light meter around too.

I think the Gossen meters is more expensive than Sekonics. Saw a couple of them at Fotografix Marketing at Lucky Chinatown. Check them out!!

The translucent dome should not be removed in strong lighting. Otherwise, the bare sensor may register light beyond its acceptable range.
